Configuring NH server B
Prerequisites:
• Server A is configured
• The restart of server A after it is configured is complete
On nearline systems, both NH K2 Media Servers are identical, with the exception that only one
server can be the active media file system server at any time. For this reason the K2Config application
embeds the configuration and start of the media file system into the wizard when you configure the
first NH K2 Media Server, as in the previous procedure. That server is now the acting media file
system server. You can now configure the remaining server using the following procedure.
1. Verify that server A has restarted by opening the MS-DOS command prompt and use the “ping”
command.
2. In the K2 System Configuration application tree view, select the K2 Media Server you are
configuring as server B.
3. Click the Configure button.
The Configure K2 Server wizard opens to the Define server roles page.
Configure Define Server Roles page - NH server
1. Enter the name for the K2 Media Server, as currently configured on the machine.
For Nearline server roles, selections are disabled. Leave SNFS file system server, FTP server,
and NAS server selected.
The wizard does not allow you to select Media Database Server. There is no Media Database
Server in a nearline system.
2. Click Next.
